Light takedown in Bonneville Hills

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

• Lights unplugged, unclipped and lowered from rooflines, gutters, railings and ground-level trees and shrubs
• Each set checked for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires and loose connections, with damaged sets bagged for disposal
• Strings wound on reels or cards, labeled by location and packed in bins on a garage or basement shelf

How it works

1. Pick a dry, calm day with no ice on the roof edge or gutters
2. Unplug timers and cords, then unclip the lights from the ground or a properly set ladder
3. Inspect, wind and label each run, and store bins, clips and timers together
4. Referred out: strings caught in high branches or near power lines go to an arborist or the utility, and any hardwired fixtures or outlets go to a licensed electrician

What happens next

• The written scope and price come first; you say what stays up, what comes down and where the bins go before work starts.
• Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.

In Bonneville Hills

Bonneville Hills is a predominantly single-family residential neighborhood closest to Foothill Village, a semi-regional shopping center, and its streetscapes resemble older East Bench neighborhoods, with uniform home setbacks and extensive street trees. (Bonneville Hills Neighborhood | Council District 6 (Salt Lake City)) The Bonneville Hills neighborhood consists of predominantly single-family homes built during the middle of the 20th century. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault generates large earthquakes of about magnitude 7 on average every 1,350 years, and the most recent was about 1,300 years ago. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) A brick building with rows of bricks turned endways every five to six rows may be unreinforced masonry, a pattern once used to add strength before steel reinforcing was required. (Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.
